怪屋女孩:灵魂博物馆
刚刚读完了 Library of Souls - The Third Novel of Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children
我读这本书其实是为了学英语,但作为一本冒险小说,设定还是很有新意的,尤其是那些照片,还有男主的女朋友!
不过,这种故事是典型的英雄之旅(Hero’s journey)的模版。读到最后,回忆主角经历的种种,恍若隔世,还是蛮温馨的。
接下来是我的笔记,见笑了。

“In the tales that are told about us after our victory, I should like to be known as Addison the Intrepid.”
“And so you shall,” said Emma.
“Make that Extremely Intrepid,” Addison said. “And handsome.”
“Done,” I said.这两个应该算是英式幽默吧,Addison Intrepid and Handsome!
